I read The Will to Keep Winning by Daigo Umehara (https://www.amazon.com/Will-Keep-Winning-DAIGO-UMEHARA-ebook/dp/B01JOEKKWU https://www.amazon.com/Will-Keep-Winning-DAIGO-UMEHARA-ebook...) last year. Daigo is arguably the best street fighter player in the world, for generations. (this guy competed in Street Fighter 2 back in the 90s, and still competes in SF5 now) A lot of the book is about his personal stories, ups and downs, but through the book you can really see what it takes to become the absolute best at something. (hint: practice, practice, practice all day. Keep your passion.) One fun part in the book was how he lost his passion for fighting games in the 00s for a few years, and he got into the professional mah-jong scene in Japan. He actually saw a path to becoming one of the best mah-jong players in Japan. At a certain point he decided to just get back to fighting games which he loved most. I think it goes to show when you got the right mentality, you can become the best at anything when you put in enough effort.
